Like that 1950s one. I’ve been arguing that for a long time. The conservatives actually want to return us to the 1890s. No unions, no votes for women, no rights for minorities, women married as soon as they could squeeze out babies, and poor people never went to college. Plus, they liked it when the corporation paid you in scrip that could only be used at the corporation’s stores, and you had to live in corporation housing, so they never actually had any of their money leave their hands into the workers, because it would all come back.

I remember having a WTH moment when Bob Dole (running for president) sounded nostalgic for the ‘progressive’ 1940s. At the time I assumed it was just that he’s old. Now I know that does count as forward for the (R).
